Revamped WPA To Create 50,000 New Jobs By Disassembling, Reassembling Hoover DamWASHINGTON—In an effort to boost the economy and promote job growth, representatives from the newly revived Works Progress Administration announced Thursday their plan to dismantle, piece by piece, the 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete forming the Hoover Dam, and then immediately rebuild it. "This is a vital initiative," said WPA director Ted Doogan, who was appointed last week. "Systematically tearing down such a massive edifice will create at least 25,000 jobs over the next five years. And then reassembling it, using all the same pieces in the exact same configuration, will employ another 25,000 workers. America is back." Other public works projects currently underway include the bulldozing of libraries, the burning of national forests, and the defacing of public murals, which will be followed by a massive plan to rebuild libraries, revive national forests, and repaint public murals.

Sincerely,

Slutter McGee

Why don't they just dig holes and fill them back in? I mean, what if they reassemble it WRONG?

The Onion just isn't thinking clearly.

Lol.

During the Depression, the beautifully hand-painted murals on the interior walls of the Iowa State Capitol were painted over multiple times to give people something to do and a wage with money created through the magic of the printing press. Now they have spent more than a decade restoring it to its original beauty. Crazy logic.
